it's an ok spot for cars to stop. we were not waiting long. our lift was not going very far, but took us to a roundabout on the A1. In retrospect, we should have asked them to drive an extra 10 minutes to a service station, as the roundabout (and nearby toll booth) were not good for us to hitch from (3 people)

did not feel very nice bcs you can only hop in as the drivers pay at the toll, there is no rest area. also clearly illegal.
this also means drivers might feel like they need to help you, so good to get ahead to a better spot not far. hitch at the ticket booths where they have to lower their window :) avoid the automatic gates where cars can just drive through.
there is a big highway security building right next to it that seemed inactive and did not bother me even though i lingered for a while before thumbing.
also, there is a pedestrian underpass connecting the toll gates so you don't need to actually walk across the motorway if it's really busy.

your average highway service station, not huge traffic, fair bit of english cars

Juste avant l'A1, beaucoup de voitures la remontent.
Le spot est safe et clair

Juste avant le péage de l'A16 on cherche à aller sur Lille, toutes les destinations s'en rapprochent

I agree that it's a really weird spot and it was mostly locals but there's space to stand at the side of the turnaround (if a bit windy, also no shelter, so not a spot for bad weather) and cars can stop too. With a sign to Paris we (2ppl) found a ride to Aulnay within half an hour and from there taking the train into Paris proper was pretty easy (and cheap.)

We (2 people) were there on a Sunday, so everything was closed and we only found a ride that didn't go that far. We did find that pretty quick though and I imagine it's a pretty good spot on business days.
As it was for us, it was a small bunnyhop and we were definitely lucky cause there were not many cars, so I'm not rating it super high.

An acceptable starting point, given it's in a big city and pretty easy to reach. There isn't really a place to stop except the red light, but that worked just fine. It was mostly locals but we did end up getting a ride to a nearby reststop. Not ideal but at least we were on the highway. We were two people with a sign to Paris.

Excellent!
the first/last peage on A1 Lille-Paris. When exiting Lille wait to get directly to here - you will get a ride till next peage in maximum 5-10 minutes. If heading to Lille, wait for direct trip instead of accepting gas station as there are barely no traffic in gas stations

Lots of cars, but as said before there is no safe place for hitchhiking. I didn't feel at ease. After 5 minutes the police (gendarmerie) saw me, they told me it was forbidden to stay there and took me to the next highway entrance, a quite deserted one :-(

There was no safe place to stop at the toll so we walked till the nearest reasonable place, just before the junction between the direction of Reims/Troyes and Paris where we could stop somebody safely (heading to Reims).

Good to hitch to the north;
Horrable to hitch south.

There's a gas station close to the roundabout, enough space to stop the car and not a bad amount of traffic heading towards the highway for such a small place. On a late Saturday afternoon we only got a short ride offer that we decided to reject. The following morning, the place was dead, so we had to continue by train to Paris.
